MistKing in a terrarium
 
Hi all!
Is anyone has experience to water orchids with MistKing? Will it be enough for them?
Thanks for help!

I also need to find a misting system for my indoor greenhouse!

I have no experience of this, but I know that people do use it to do their watering in various circumstances. I guess it all depends on how many nozeles you have in what space.

Marty our forum owner is the seller of Mistking. He doesn't take part in this forum often though so will probably not see this to be able to advise you.

It might be worth asking your question on the Mistking website contact form, he's busy but can help advise on what you would need. Just be sure to give him details of terrarium size and other important details and he should be able to advise what is needed.

Thanks for the great advice!

I use two nozzles for 2' x 2' x 2' tank. Its enough because there is no air exchange with air from outside the tank. ALso I have a fogger that goes for a few hours every day. It all depends on what you do with your tank. You have to experiment.
I use 1 nozzle for a narrow 2 1/2 foot tall tank which does exchange air with the outside continuously so it dries out faster. But in that tank, the plants are adapted to faster drying. It all depends on what you are growing.

Tindomul, how often do you mist? and for how long?

Tindomul 06-16-2015 11:19 AM

everyday for 1 minute only.

Thanks! I'll try it.

Aren't there resevoir style vivarium ultrasonic frog foggers out there that are pretty much set up for use in terrarium/vivarium/plaudarium set ups? If your orchids are mounted that would be great, like mounted minis.
